West believes that, as a global organization, we have a duty and obligation to contribute to a sustainable future and that each of us, working together, can make a difference. While we know that sound environmental practices make good business sense, the underlying reasons behind our commitment are the many benefits these practices provide to our communities, now and for future generations. As a company with the mission to improve patient health, it stands to reason that we are equally committed to a sustained investment in creating a healthier environment.
